Frog Hopper on Leaf

Description

"Frog Hoppers are ranked under the homopterous sub-order of insects. The name of frog hopper refers partly to the form of their body, partly to their leaping powers, which are great; this power arises from the length of their hind legs. The larva of these insects, which resembles the parent in most respects except in the want of wings, envelops itself in a froth resembling human spittle. All must have often observed ths on plants."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
